It’s been years since I made an Easter Lamb cake and since I now have 4 granddaughters that love to help me bake, I decided to pull out the old lamb form and give it a whirl. The cake came out perfect, but I needed the perfect frosting. I recalled that my mom always used […]
My favorite frosting is buttercream. Unlike most frosting which is very sweet, buttercream frosting is creamy, buttery and no too sweet. With this recipe, you can switch the flavor of the extract. For example, if you’re making a lemon cake, substitute lemon extract for the vanilla. Orange cake…orange extract and so on. Keep in mind, […]
This frosting has an intense, yet delightful flavor. The recipe makes enough to frost a 9×13 inch cake or 18 cupcakes. It’s quick and easy to whip up and ever so tasty
Talk about delectable…this is it! Rich and velvety smooth, filled with chocolatey goodness. Dress up any cake with this “not too sweet” frosting. Try it on banana bread for a real treat! This makes enough frosting to generously cover a 9×13 inch cake.
This recipe goes hand in hand with my peppermint chiffon cake (recipe is posted on my site), so you will see comments in this recipe which are geared to the chiffon cake.
This lightly sweetened, chocolate laced mousse is perfect to put between layers of cake . Once you’ve “stuffed” the layers, be sure to refrigerate the cake to solidify the mousse. Then top off your cake with your favorite chocolate frosting ( I recommend Ganache)
When I need a drizzle of chocolate frosting on a cake, I often whip up some ganache. But, I don’t always have whipping cream on hand. No problem, as this recipe is just as tasty and uses ingredients that I always have in my cabinet.
Did you ever have a cake that just needs a thin layer or drizzle of rich, chocolaty icing? This ganache is easy to whip up and oh so tasty.
When I was a young girl, our neighbor, Helen Iverson, made the most memorable chocolate frosting I’ve ever had. It’s light and fluffy and luckily, she shared the recipe with me. It’s the perfect amount of frosting for a cake baked in a 9×13 inch pan. If you’re frosting a layer cake, double the recipe.
Luscious, creamy frosting, with just a hint of sweetness. It is a wonderful topping for carrot cake, cinnamon rolls and more.
